6 He does not keep the wicked alive, but gives justice to the afflicted.
7 He does not take His eyes from the righteous, but enthrones them with kings and exalts them forever.
8 But if they are bound in chains, and held captive by cords of affliction,
9 then He declares to them their deed that they have transgressed arrogantly.
10 And He opens their ear to instruction, and commands that they turn from evil.
11 If they obey and serve, they will end their days in prosperity, and their years in happiness.
12 But if they do not listen, they will perish by the sword, and die without knowledge.
